SALLY POMME CLAYTON (do call her Pomme!) is a pioneering storyteller and writer who has been creating performances, books and plays for more than 40 years, and has played a pivotal role in the storytelling revival. She creates unique work for theatres and museums, gardens and galleries, festivals and broadcast across the UK and beyond. Her groundbreaking shows focus on powerful female protagonists, such as 'The Frog Princess Punked', a hybrid performance with girl punk band and live projection. She is author of 15 children's books, several in collaboration with Sophie Herxheimer.

SOPHIE HERXHEIMER is an artist and poet. Her work has been shown at her local allotments, Tate Modern and on a giant mural along the seafront at Margate. She's made a 300m tablecloth for the Thames Festival, a life-size concrete poem in the shape of Mrs Beeton, and a pie on the lawn of an old people's home big enough for seven drama students to jump out of, singing. Her poetry collection Velkom to Inklandt (Short Books, 2017) was a Sunday Times poetry book of the year. Her latest is a deck of prophetic collage cards, INDEX (zimZalla, 2021).
